Past concerts and performances...

October 2005 - Mainz, Germany. We performed two concerts, including one at the Peter Cornelius Konservatorium in the City. See separate report page on our visit to Mainz.

June 2005 -St Marks Church, Colney Heath. A glorious setting in this Hertfordshire village church with very strong musical connections of its own, excellent acoustics and a friendly, enthusiastic audience. For the first time in public we performed Tom Parson's arrangement of Debussy's Claire de Lune, a particularly challenging but rewarding piece to play as an ensemble.

May 2005 - First performance - for the Hertford Music Festival - at the Marquee. This time using professional mic'ing and mixing, everyone commented on the great richness and dynamics produced, demonstrating our uniquely powerful sound qualities so well.

Christmas 2004 - Watford Arts Forum performance. The Orchestra served a selection of seasonal music at a gathering of the Watford Arts Forum.

In May 2004, we provided a musical backdrop for an exhibition of art in Watford.

We were invited to play again at the Hertford Music Festival in May 2004. In an expanded, renewed repertoire, we played new arrangements including Mussorgsky's Great Gate, Beethoven's Symphony no7 op92, Mozart's Lacrimosa K626, Faure's Sicilienne and a work by a British wunderkind Ronald Binge.

In July 2003, we gave an al fresco performance at a private garden party at "Poplars" in Ruislip, Middlesex, in perfect summer conditions.
Playing at Ampthill
 

Jun 2003 - We provided the musical entertainment at a charity luncheon party in aid of the Royal National Institute for the Blind and Victim Support. This event took place in Ampthill, near Bedford in June and we performed four new pieces exclusively arranged for us, including Gabriel Faure's "Pavane".

All Saints Church, Hertford
 

May 2003 - An appreciative audience heard us perform for the Hertford Music Festival at All Saints Church Hertford - with its prominent music affiliations - in May. This large church which dominates Hertford's central skyline is a truly inspiring setting with excellent sound qualities which suited our repertoire perfectly.
